Yes. Still having video issues as well as odd-looking newsletters that have no paragraphs & no pictures, but rather blue type down the left-hand side of the page, sort of like an index. Can click on blue type, but nothing will open. Have contacted senders, and both report that no other recipients are having that issue.

In addition I would download and install Malwarebytes, decline the free trial offer, then update and run a full scan.

Open Internet Explorer and any other browser you have, on the Tools (gear icon) tab, select Manage Add-Ons, look at the Extensions and Search tabs to see what is running on your Browser. I would disable any but Flash and your Reader. Report back what else you find there.

Since what you describe is pretty clearly a browser hijack of some sort, also download and install SUPERAntiSpyware declining its trial offer and turning it off at startup in its Preferences. Run a Full Scan and clean up anything it finds.

Let us know if this helps as there are other steps including resetting browser to defaults. Does this behavior occur when you trying using another browser like Firefox?

Here's the newsletter. It should be a full-color page with several articles on musicians. Even if I use another browser, I have the same issue with videos & newsletters.

I only have one flash add-on enabled. Nothing else. Several are listed, but are disabled. (I had just installed Adobe using Britton30's link.)

I already have Malware Bytes Pro. It updates itself automatically.

I ran EMI Emergency kit. It found nothing. I wasn't sure about Kapersky; couldn't tell if it was free & didn't know how it would behave with MSE.

Ran Super Anti-Spyware complete scan. It found 248 ad cookies, plus 0 memory and 0 registry problems. I removed the 248 tracking cookies. Interesting since I useDuck Duck Go as my main search engine unless it totally bonks a search at which time I use "in private" and a Google search.

Work through the Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 to go over your system, starting the establishing a Clean Boot, utilizing the System Resources to check for Problems and Solutions, culling the log for repeat errors to resolve, try MSE in place of your current AV to test the difference since it provides the least problems.

I'd also go to Internet Options>Advanced and reset to defaults, including all personal settings. You may have to reinstall Flash.

This thread is solved - after some Private Messages and a TeamViewer session with nottaclue9.

IE9 was reset (total reset).

The Temporary Internet Files were deleted.

These steps were followed to remove Flash.
nottaclue9 was able to run the uninstaller without any problems, but removing these folders...
%WinDir%\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
%WinDir%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
...proved to be problematic.
There was one stubborn old folder under %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player that did not want to be deleted.

Flash was re-installed using the stand alone installer from here:
Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
